Blog Dos

The second time around is much better, so they say. Most (99%) of you haven't gotten to experience how great this blog is to read. Yea, I'm full of it, just trying to be entertaining. Today is going to be a lower body day. I'm trying to decide which gym to lift at this afternoon. Do I want crowded and effective or the place where I am employed. I think I will flip a coin.
Since it is leg day, I gotta get amped up! Got some speed/dynamic box squats, speed rack pulls, and follow it up with a rope pull through for the hamstrings. Today is dedicated to the posterior chain, a part of the body that most people lack. I like strong glutes and I cannot lie, it's not only a song but a motto for coaches who want athletes with some lower body power. Try to work the PC more than those overused quads, you will thank me later.

The first day.....

Welcome! I am happy to announce I have a blog, I don't know too much about computers, and I don't know if anyone will read this. Oh well, gotta start somehow. I see so much fitness, strength, nutrition, and whatever else you wanna call it, on the web. Now it's time to voice my facts, opinions, and whatever else I feel like typing.
Today I will discuss bad personal training. I just got done "training" (not working out), and I observed one of the trainers at a local gym, not the one I work for so don't worry if ya know me. This dude was drinking his coffee and talking on the cell phone while his client was on the adductor/abductor machine for about 20 minutes. What a waste of money. Has this guy ever heard of professionalism, ethics, and a decent exercise (squats, lunges, step-ups). Look around the gym today or tomorrow and see how many people are wasting their hard earned money...
